The bad thing was that, since it was autumn, and Califa is on a drought period, the biggest waterfall was almost dry, and so was the Mirror Lake. But other than that, it was a lovely time I spent there. When I think about Yosemite, a smile just show up in my face.
A (not so) fun fact: I almost didn’t shoot on film there. My fiancé took my digital and shot almost everything with it, I grabbed the camera whenever I saw something TRULY interesting. And since I was on vacation and didn’t wanna miss the moment, I kind of kept everything inside my head. It doesn’t sound like me, I’m always shooting everything and everybody, but I needed the rest. For the eyes, the mind and the body. Not mentioning the soul.

Fantastic! What an incredibly beautiful place! ♥
ReplyDeleteit truly is! I wanna get back there in other seasons, to see how different it can be through spring, summer and winter too. :)
ReplyDeletehow can someone not love the autumn with all those yellow it offers? :)
ReplyDeleteI love them both, I love the feeling of the film and love how easy it is to manipulate the digital. My fiancé prefers the digital because he doesn’t know much about photography, so it’s easy for him to shoot and se what he’s done. So he was the photographer there, I only shot a couple times, with film (those ones) and once or twice when he asked for my help. Now that I’m back, I wish I could have shot more, but when I was there, I wanted nothing between my eyes and all that beauty. Does that make sense? Haha.
ReplyDeleteThat makes total sense, that's actually how I am with fireworks. I won't lie, I think these man-made sparks are real pretty and I would rather enjoy them with my own eyes than through the viewfinder. :)
